Kanata's Castle #36: Rey's Reflections

07/25/18 • 67 min

Kanata's Castle is back with Rey's Reflections. In this episode, Becca and Devon take a closer look at Rey and how her character mirrors and parallels those that have come before her. When all is said and done, what is Rey's role in the story? Well, be sure to sidle up to the bar and get comfy. That said, hang on to your drinks and enjoy the acquired taste that is, Kanata's Castle.

A mirror reflects light. It reflects an image. A mirror produces an accurate representation of something else. A replica. Rey’s Reflections, in other words, Rey is a reminder of those that have come before: Han, Luke, Leia, and possibly, deeper down the line. She's a Reality Check for the Big 3, without her none of them would be able to connect again (not literally, but figuratively speaking) and come full-circle in their story.

Kanata's Castle #35: Redeeming Ren?

Ever ask yourself, "is Kylo Ren worthy of redemption?" Ahem, better yet, RENdemption? Well, in this episode of Kanata's Castle, Becca, and Devon get back into the heavy as they discuss whether or not young Solo is redeemable. So, come on! Grab a frothy mug of Luke's favorite green-milk and hit that play button.

Redemption is a continuous theme in Star Wars. But, is that trope getting old? Is it time for something new? After all, the Star Wars stories have evolved with the sequel trilogy, so maybe Kylo Ren is right? It's time to let old things die. Kill the past. To redeem or not to redeem, that is the question.
